[QUOTE="Bez__, post: 1153269, member: 22126"] No matter what anyone tells you, AI is a crap shoot - even the best person at the job can miss. Blood samples can be taken and stored with mistakes. There are literally a tonne of reasons they might / might not be bred. A bull is your best bet - I know not everyone wants or can keep a bull. I would do another blood sample and NOT store it - take it direct for testing. If they showed negative - then back to the drawing board. If the second samples are negative - and not knowing you or your cattle - have them checked out if you have not already and if they look good to breed - have at it again. While we do some AI on this place I admit that the technicians sometimes miss 50% and sometimes they miss 30% - but the bull never seems to miss. Good luck to you. Bez__ [/QUOTE]
